We decided after our first Havanese, Ellie Mae, was approaching 2 years old that we would love to adopt another Havanese. Since Ellie’s breeder had moved across country we started to research closer reputable breeders. I had viewed the Fausthouse Havanese website many times over the years as a source of information on care and training and to enjoy all of their puppy pictures, etc. Upon first contact with Anna at Fausthouse Havanese, I knew we would be fortunate to adopt a baby sister from her. Once talking with Anna you can tell the love and devotion she has for all of her Havanese and the importance she places on their well being.

After our application was accepted and references checked we were told up front there would be a wait to get a pup … it was well worth the wait! Once our puppy was born we enjoyed watching her grow EVERY day on the videos of Fausthouse live-streams. If we had any questions we would send emails and they were quickly answered.

When we picked up baby sister Clover, they had prepared a bag for her with a beautiful blanket, toys, food, treats and more. An organized folder with all of her vaccine records and microchip information, etc was given to us as well…everything and more to get Clover through the transition to a new home as easy as possible. A few days after we brought her home we took her to the vet with all of her records and she passed with flying colors – the vets and technicians all love her!!
Because of the way she was trained to use the pee pads, and the information Fausthouse shares on their website for setting up our home for a new pup, our little Clover has done amazingly well in using the pads.

She is such a playful and sociable little love. She and Ellie Mae are having so much fun together and are inseparable. Because Clover was exposed to other adult Havanese while with Anna she seemed to have a seamless transition adjusting to her new big sister! We are so looking forward to many years of fun, love and joy with our Clover!!

We are so grateful for our fluffy bundle and would absolutely, without reservation, recommend Fausthouse Havanese to anyone wanting a healthy and happy puppy of this incredible breed!!!

After my parents got their first Havanese, I fell in love with the breed. After a lot of research, I decided it was time to get a second dog and wanted to get my first Havanese. In 2013, I connected with Anna and got my sweet Dixie girl. The whole experience was fantastic. We loved watching the webcam which we call “puppy vision,” to see the litter grow and play. On pick up day, we loved all of the knowledge and resources Anna had to share and provide to us. We enjoyed spending time getting to know our pup and getting ready to bring her home.

After our 17 year old cattle dog passed, I knew when we were ready to add a second dog, Anna would be our first call. In early 2020, we started watching one of Anna’s current litters playing and growing and we knew it was time to add another Havanese. Our feisty fun Kona girl was born June 2020. Once again every step of the way, Anna was amazing to work with. She cares for each puppy like her family and that love and care shows in how well mannered, socialized and loving her puppies are when you get to bring them home.

We talk about our amazing experience with the FaustHouse team to everyone who meets our girls. Our girls are loving, playful, great with our kids, and an absolute joy. Anna, Karen and Wade are top notch breeders and we highly recommend working with them. You will be glad you did.

We recently brought home our first Havanese puppy after mourning the loss of our nearly 16 year old miniature schnauzer. We researched breeds thoroughly as we wanted a small non-shedding dog that would be able to travel with us frequently and tolerate the southern heat. When we found Anna and FaustHouse Havanese, we knew we had the right breeder. Her website is extremely thorough, filled with valuable information and videos. Anna spends time and energy vetting those lucky enough to be chosen to bring home one of her well cared for pups. She went out of her way to contact all of our references. Her knowledge and willingness to share information and answer all questions made the process very easy.

We paid our deposit and waited for the good news when a litter was born. Smoochie and Maverick welcomed 5 pups on March 5th and we were able to watch the pups live on YouTube from day 1. This was around the time that Covid-19 pandemic hit and watching the pups became a wonderful distraction and allowed us even more time to focus on them.

Havanese pups have the advantage of looking different from their siblings so it was easy to be able to see the different personalities emerge. The live feeds really made us feel apart of their lives and allowed us to recreate a very similar environment at home to ease the transition for our sweet little Arlo. It was so clear to us how much work, effort and love goes into raising the absolute best pups. Anna made the most of the situation with the pandemic and kept everyone safe when we went to pick up our pup. We decided that it was the safest to drive even though we are 12 hours away, but our little Arlo, (Honey Bunny Blaine) handled it like a champ.

Our Veterinarian was notably impressed with how clean and healthy she was and remarked the rareness of not having any single issues or concerns. Arlo was given a perfect health inspection report and he even jokingly offered to keep her. It’s a real testament to Anna’s health testing that to this day, Arlo has never vomited or had diarrhea- unusual in my experience with young pups. She is a perfect healthy and happy puppy.

As we train her and do our best to socialize her as completely as possible, she has become a favorite in the neighborhood, having made many new friends both human and canine. She is already such an important part of our family and we are so thrilled and thankful to Anna for making it possible. I would not hesitate to use Anna in the future and know that it is worth the wait to find the right responsible breeder whose focus is to better the breed instead of churning out designer versions.!

On March 17, 2019, I lost my Fergie to a severe heart condition. She was the love of my life and I never thought I could ever welcome another dog into my home and my life. Well, life was lonely without a fur baby, so I started to research breeds and breeders. That is when I came upon the Havanese and Anna. Life was changed. Wow, what an incredible website, credentials, testimonials and absolutely beautiful dogs and puppies.

I was hooked and that is when the procedure started to adopt. First, the care that Anna takes to screen potential parents was welcoming and then her telephone “interview” gets to know you call with you was also welcoming and fun. Anna has an incredible personality, but her attention to care to whom she welcomes to adopt one of her puppies lets you know how serious she takes the process and just how much she cares about every puppy she helps bring into this world. Now, don’t get me started on the webcam availability one the puppies are born. To have the ability to watch the puppies grow and mature, OMG, I can’t begin to tell you how much time I spent watching them every day. Last and perhaps equally important is the unlimited access to Anna for advice and just sharing of events in your puppy’s life. Anna is one of a kind, and I am so thankful and grateful I found her and now I have my Pippa who brings me joy and laughter and fills my heart with pure love and joy each day.

After losing our precious buttercream Havanese dog suddenly seven years prior, we were finally ready to add a new dog to our family in January 2018. Fans of the family-friendly, hypoallergenic breed, we knew we wanted another Havanese. We decided on looking for a black puppy (the opposite color of our previous furry boy) and name him Vader (Human daddy is a Star Wars fan). We also wanted to make sure we connected with a reputable breeder. We found Fausthouse Havanese through the AKC. Much to our delight—and surprise—they had a black Havanese puppy, already named Vader, born on December 6, 2017, and he was available for adoption . . . just an hour and a half away from us. We felt it was destiny!

Once we shared our story with Anna Faust, she invited our family to meet with Vader. It was love at first sight!! We took to Vader immediately and he took to us as well. Gentle by nature, we felt he was perfect for our family of five (two parents and three daughters). After doing more research, we learned that Anna guarantees all of her puppies’ health, and takes great loving care of them as their first human mommy. She won’t transport them as cargo, so potential parents must be willing to travel to pick their puppy up. She does initial vaccinations, as well as crate, potty, and walking training. She also has a long record of award-winning show Havanese whom she breeds. Wow! Again, we felt it was destiny!

On February 17, after meeting with Anna Faust’s veterinarian and getting a clean bill of health, we brought our adorable puppy Vader home with a large puppy blanket, treats, toys and handbook provided by Fausthouse Havanese. Since then, Anna has been there for us whenever we’ve had questions about Vader’s care and training. We could not have asked for a better partner in raising Vader than Anna Faust. If you’re looking for a healthy, well-bred, much-loved Havanese puppy, we highly recommend Fausthouse Havanese. The Bagley Family

If you are searching for a very special puppy to add to your household, we would suggest that you speak with Anna Faust of Fausthouse Havanese. After grieving the loss of our dear corgi in late 2017, we began our quest for our next companion. We researched several breeds and kept returning to the Havanese. We were fortunate enough to meet Anna and her dear friend Karen Hornsby at a show in Concord in Spring 2018. They could not have been kinder and gave us the gift of their time and experience (which was all the more remarkable since Anna was extremely busy with club responsibilities in addition to showing her own entry).

Anna’s dedication to advancing the best the Havanese breed has to offer is on full display on her website. We were so impressed with the way she made it easy to follow the development of her puppies. I must confess that the webcam feed became my favorite “secret vice” over the summer of 2018!

We stayed in touch with Anna after the Concord show and, when Smoochie had her first litter in mid-June, we asked Anna to place our names on the list. After listening carefully to what we were looking for in a companion, she matched us with her little Andy Andes, who we have renamed “Gambit.” He has brought us so much joy with his fun-loving mischievous “big-boy” attitude to life! We could not have designed a more perfect fit for our household (aka “GambitLand”). Anna is a very special person with a very special gift – you can place your trust in her and know that you will receive the gift of honesty.

Jodie is our third Havanese, we also have an 8-year-old (rescue) and 13-year-old. Anna is, without exception, one of the finest breeders in the business. I implore those seeking info to read Anna’s website-multiple times, particularly the section on buyer education. Having dealt with breeders for nearly 40 years, I can assure you Anna is the gold standard by which all breeders should abide.

I am very particular and so is Anna. A thorough vetting process from both parties is paramount. It is a privilege to be accepted as a life-long parent for one of her “babies.” Please read all of the references! Each one touches on pertinent info regarding Anna. We “lived” on YouTube for hours as well! Also, she is the only breeder I’ve encountered who has puppies chipped before they go home.

FaustHouse Havanese is a one-of-a-kind breeder in a great way. Anna is an AKC Breeder of Distinction and her Havanese puppies and purchasing policies make it very apparent why! She carefully plans her limited litters so we waited on her waiting list for quite a while because her puppies are in high demand. When our litter was born Anna had a live webcam on YouTube.com so the puppies and parents can be seen interacting in real time! I really “lived” on that site for hours. Plus, Anna sends frequent updates on the litter as the puppies grow and learn new things every day.

When we arrived at her home we were faced with five gorgeous, fluffy little balls of cotton softness to choose from. Every puppy was stunning, a bundle of energy, happy and full of licks and love. In preparation for taking our puppy home Anna asked that my husband and I each wear a special tee shirt to bed for several nights to transfer our scent. She then, let our puppy sleep with these shirts!

On pick-up day Anna met with us to review details of everything we needed to know and assisted us in filling out AKC paperwork. We also got a large goody bag filled with stuff we needed to get started! Then, we and our pup and his mother and Anna went to the vet where he was thoroughly examined, de-wormed and given the last look over by her vet. Anna rubbed Tanner and his mother each with separate blankets so they could leave with each other’s scents to take home. These are the wonderful things Anna does that touched my heart.

We have become family and she and her show dogs are welcome anytime in our home. She is still there when I need her. Anna’s dogs are always her top concern above all else. We are retired and our Tanner has brought us boundless amounts of love, companionship and happiness. He is incredibly adorable and a real social butterfly! EVERYBODY loves Tanner. For real!! We could not be happier. Also, he came to us pee pee pad trained. Never ever had an accident. What a bonus!!

If you are looking for a sweet Havanese puppy-LOOK NO FURTHER! We have had the wonderful privilege of owning not one but two of these wonderful Havanese puppies from Anna at Faust House Havanese. We first got Ms Bella back in March of 2008 and just loved our interactions with Anna and her true love and care for these puppies as well as her knowledge & professionalism as a breeder. We were so impressed with Anna and of course just love our little Bella more than words can say, that we decided to get a second puppy in May of 2010 from Anna.

His name is Mr Benjamin and he is actually Bella’s brother! They are both from Molly & Maverick. Now Bella & Benjamin have each other to play with while we are at work during the day, and they are just the best of friends!! It is so wonderful that they have bonded so well and it just makes my heart smile. So if you are considering getting a puppy from FaustHouse Havanese, or even a 2nd or 3rd, take my advice, it’s worth every penny!! Thank you again Anna. We consider you a true friend and hope to visit with you someday soon. God Bless, Renee, Jeff, Bella & Benjamin Beebe
